Preserving Through Innovating
This study investigates the emergence of neo-pashkevils—visually and rhetorically modernized wall posters—within ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) campaigns opposing military conscription in Israel. While traditional pashkevils (wall posters) function as informal instruments of ideological enforcement and communal discipline, neo-pashkevils incorporate comic-style illustrations, vibrant colors, and colloquial language aimed at youth audiences. Through the …
The technological revolution in mental health
Recent advancements in communication technologies, virtual reality (VR), and artificial intelligence (AI) hold the potential to revolutionize the field of clinical psychology. What will this technological revolution entail? Will it alleviate the current mental health burden, or could it exacerbate issues that characterized the previous biomedical revolution? This article explores these questions from the joint perspective of researchers in Commun…
Shaping the ultra-Orthodox man’s self-image
This study examines how the ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) men within the religious minority community in Israel represent themselves through wall posters (Pashkevilim) and protest banners in resistance to military service and opposition to enlisted Haredi soldiers. Through qualitative thematic analysis of 27 wall posters and 25 protest banners, this study explores how these visual media reflect and shape the male self-image and body image in relation t…
The Ethical Implications of Prosocial Synthetic Resuscitation
In recent years, the ‘digital resurrection’ of the deceased through Deepfake technology has become a reality accessible to the general public and has raised profound ethical discussions in society. While the academic literature focuses primarily on regulatory and political implications, the public reception of digital resurrection remains largely unexplored. Furthermore, much of the public discourse around Deepfakes centres on their malicious app…
Educators as news mediators
The surprise Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, resulted in widespread dissemination of violent content, creating urgent challenges for parents and educators in managing children’s exposure to traumatic news. Despite attempts to shield children, many Israeli school-age children were exposed to such content. This study explores one institutionalized and two organic news-mediation initiatives developed by educators in response to the crisis.…
Who in the World Is Generation Z? The Rise of Mobile Natives and Their Socio-Technological Identity
Generation Z is a widely used term in both public and academic discourse, yet its definition remains ambiguous, particularly regarding the factors distinguishing it from its predecessor, Generation Y. Adopting a socio-technological perspective, this article proposes a clear generational boundary, those born after 1995, and introduces the concept of “mobile natives” to define Generation Z as a technologically distinct generation in relation to bot…
The personal is the (quasi-) political
This study explores how digital humor functions as a form of critique in contexts where overt dissent is constrained. Focusing on memes shared by members of a Facebook support group for Israeli reservist soldiers’ wives during the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, the study analyzes how humor helps negotiate personal and collective tensions. Using thematic and critical discourse analysis, we identify four spheres of critique—targeting spouses, social circle…
Navigating parental engagement in WhatsApp groups
This study examines how WhatsApp-groups shape parental engagement in education, focusing on elementary school teachers-parents groups. Using theories of parental engagement and digital affordances, we explore how these groups transform traditional educational partnerships. Through in-depth interviews with teachers and parents, the study highlights how WhatsApp's public nature, constant availability, and conversational format both enable and const…

Repentance and the Reversal of Time
This article discusses the dominant understanding of the concept of repentance in the thought of the Jewish philosopher Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik, and the original interpretation he offers of this religious idea. It explores how his interpretation of the way repentance operates upon the human soul is based on Max Scheler's thought regarding remorse, while adding another layer of meaning grounded in Henri Bergson's philosophical conception of t…
Nature’s Apostle
The dove, the most frequently mentioned bird in the Hebrew Bible, appears in diverse contexts, spanning its appearance as an element in the narrative (as in the case of Noah’s ark), and as an allegory and metaphor (as in the cryptic “sword of the dove”—twice in Jeremiah—and “the city of the dove”—Zephaniah). The dove even appears as the proper name of a prophet (or possibly of two, both named Jonah, son of Amittai). This article applies a communi…

Hilltop Youth and New Media
Hilltop youth" is the name for young religious Jewish people in Israel who, separated from their families, are living in illegal outposts on hilltops throughout Judea and Samaria. The group's unique religious, sociological, and ideological characteristics differentiate them from other religious communities previously studied in relation to digital culture. In this study, we offer a new angle that provides insight into the hilltop youth's religiou…
Oppositional Mirror on the Wall
Pashkevilim, printed wall notices posted around Jewish ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods, serve as one of the religious community's popular communication channels. The Pashkevilim mostly deal with controversial intra-community issues and feature a unique style, extremist rhetoric, and vocabulary derived from the religious literature. Humorous imitations of the genre arose over the years, which circulated in the community and outside of it, posing a ch…
Are you talking to me? Generation X, Y, Z responses to mobile advertising
This study explores intergenerational differences in attitudes toward mobile advertising (addressing their informativeness, irritation, trustworthiness, entertainment, and intrusiveness) and actual response to mobile advertising messages in Israel. Using an online survey ( N = 408) and drawing on Congruence Theory and Generation Cohort Theory, we focus on three generations: X, Y, and Z. Findings show that all generations responded negatively when…
Mobile phones and the experience of time
A number of studies have sought to understand how mobile phones affect time practices, and beyond them, the experience of time in users' daily lives. This article is a further effort in that direction, employing the deprivation study method. We conducted a field study of 80 adolescents, or "cellular natives," separating them from their cellphones for 1 week. The findings indicate that the cellphone's absence indeed had a dominant impact on a vari…

Oh, no, Pokémon GO! Media panic and fear of mobility in news coverage of an augmented reality phenomenon
Media panics research is concerned with widespread social anxiety formed around a new technology or medium. This study adds to existing research by characterizing a new form of media panic around augmented reality applications, and specifically that which erupted concerning Pokémon GO, a popular augmented reality game. Based on a content analysis of items related to the game published in Israel's major print and online media in the period immedia…
The (other) two percent also matter
Technological resistance practices hold significant insights regarding the media’s role as much as its adoption and usage practices. However, studies examining media non-use have generally overlooked mobile phone resisters—individuals voluntarily deciding not to own mobile phones. Based on 25 in-depth interviews with mobile phone refusers, this study presents two refuser types differing in refusal dynamics. The first are ideologists , whose rejec…

It’s the text, stupid! Mobile phones, religious communities, and the silent threat of text messages
This study explores the Jewish ultra-Orthodox “kosher cellphone,” a device that can be used only for voice calls. It asks why the leadership of this highly textual community didn’t stop at blocking Internet use over the kosher cellphone and went on to block texting messages as well. Using both interviews with ultra-Orthodox anti-cellphone-activists and content analysis of online discussions among community members, the study analyzes the percepti…
Home, front, and mobile phones
This paper deals with the cellphone’s role in the Second Lebanon War. Via in-depth interviews (N=20) with officers and combat soldiers, the study shows how soldiers’ cellular devices served a range of objectives: military, personal documentary, communication with home and family, and updating the home front and other battle sectors. On the military level, cellular enables the generation of the “cellular buddy” phenomenon, or the ability to consul…
The “flashpacker” and the “unplugger”
The cellular phone’s unique characteristics—its mobility, its portability, and the constant availability that it enables—challenge the feasibility of solitary spaces in individuals’ lives. These spaces—for example, cultural “timeouts,” leisure, and backpacking travel—necessitate a certain degree of cutting oneself off from one’s daily routine, which is threatened by the constant presence of one’s cell phone. This study examines the role of cell p…

Media Theology
Recent studies have seen religious observance as inherently related to available communication technologies. This study follows this thrust but complements the focus on religious praxis with a look at media theology—the ideological dimension of the religion and media nexus. It traces three distinct facets of media theology: the way religious sensibilities affect how we create, shape, apply, and establish a relationship with media technologies; ho…

“Meeting the Enemy”
In this study the authors investigate the ways in which a television interview with a Palestinian female terrorist was received by Jewish-Israeli youth with hawkish political views, focusing on their emotional reactions. The ethical implications of the interpretive acts performed by viewers are discussed. The authors' analysis of viewers' responses to a media portrayal of a female terrorist contributes to the understanding of the role played by g…
Collapsing walls and the question of commemoration
The paper focuses on graffiti which was created by The Gaza Strip settlers during the Israeli withdrawal (August 2005), while being fully aware of the predetermined demolition of the houses by the Israeli army. The graffiti served two functions: One, concrete and short-termed, was meant for the eyes of the soldiers and the media, and was constructed as an image event. The second function was the construction of historical commemoration through ic…
